Congratulations to Joe Pa!

Let me start first and state I am not and have never been a Penn State fan. Growing up in the Pittsburgh area I have always been a fan of the University of Pittsburgh. I also, this will show my age, remember when Joe Paterno was not the coach at Penn State. Rip Engle was the coach and Paterno was his assistant. That being said, I wanted to congratulate Joe Paterno for his 409th victory and becoming the all time leader in Division 1 football. Paterno deserves this. He is not only the number one coach, he is also an example of how to have and maintain a winning program, without compromising principles. Joe has not had as much as a whiff of scandal during his 46 year reign in "Happy Valley". He has contributed over four million dollars to Penn State University and has a library wing named after him. So, Joe, congratulations and may you continue to set an example of how to succeed and continued success on the field for your Nittany Lions, except when playing Pitt.
